Start with the bottom part (1/4) to listen to this radio debate on climate change. A podcast page dedicated to the event is available, too. The debate is a full-fledged war, starting with discussions of Littlemore's blog's financial connections to organized crime.

As expected, Christopher Monckton who is not only a skeptic but who has become quite a complete climatologist defeated Richard Littlemore, a climate alarmist who has really no idea about the issues, rather easily.

I don't think it's really possible for alarmists to win a debate because their position doesn't hold much water.

If they want to succeed, they must build on human ignorance, fear, censorship, intimidation, ad hominem insults, and oversimplified slogans. Any format where nontrivial scientific facts and ideas can actually be presented and discussed is bound to be a failure for the alarmist movement.
